UNDERNEATH THE OVERPASS
(Hal David-Burt Bacharach)
Recorded by Jo Stafford

C
Underneath the overpass a leadin¼ out of Boston Mass,
               G7            C
My baby meets me nightly.
F7 
Underneath the overpass for every train that hurries past,
      C      G7           C
My baby holds me tightly.
F                  G
Others go to lover¼s lane,
C                         F                     C
We go where we heard a train a chuggin¼
G7               C
While we¼re huggin.

Verse2
While overhead they¼re on their way to Arkansas or I-o-way,
We¼re happy goin¼ no place.
Underneath the overpass, a little bench a patch of grass
It¼s better than a show place.
How my heart begins to pound
Listnin¼ to the outward bound a whistlin¼
While we¼re kissin¼.

               F7
Oh how I love to hear the clickety clack
            C7                                       C
Ever so loud and clear the clickety clack
      D7
For dreaming, and for lovin
           G           Dm              G
We¼re certainly on the right track.

Verse3
Every night when dinner¼s thru we hurry to our rendezvous.
It¼s sometime after seven.
Underneath the overpass we sure don¼t need a lookin¼ glass
To see that we¼re in heaven.
Hidden from the wind and rain
It¼s a thrill to hear a train a chuggin¼
While we¼re huggin¼.
Whistlin¼ while we¼re kissin¼
Underneath the overpass.
